Lyrics
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
We could stop all this fooling round
And cut to the chase
Tear up this place
Gotta an eye for you and you for me
Gotta find a way
To be in your space
Wanna dance with you no doubt
See the guys all making out
Wanna get down and make it hot
Yeah I'll give you all I've got
But hey girl you don't have to
Hey girl you don't have to
Yeah there ain't no rules and I'm not a cop
So you don't have to ride me and never stop
You gotta dump your inhibitions
Forget about your minder
I'm the more kinder
Just cause I look like a gangster man
Don't mean I ain't funny
My vibe it's sunny
I ain't some hungry hound
Who came here to sniff around
But I'm not gonna say no go
If you say boy take me home
But hey girl you don't have to
Hey girl you don't have to
Yeah there ain't no rules and I'm not a cop
So you don't have to ride me and never stop
Yeah I'd like to think I'm a fair minded dude
Don't like to push a girl hey that would be rude
But I'm high so I can't keep it hidden away
That I'm craving yeah wanna take you all the way
Trying to keep me in check
Or I got me a train wreck
But my needs it's gotta be said
Hold a gun right to my head
But hey girl you don't have to
Hey girl you don't have to
Yeah there ain't no rules and I'm not a cop
So you don't have to ride me and never stop
